Extensive Bank Frauds.

CINCINNATI, December 3.-At the open
ing of the Harper trial Mr.. Schofeld of
the First National Bank of New York ex-
planned the account of his bank with the
Fidelity, stating that the Fidelity's general
account showed credit of $500, 600 while
their special account showed deficit of
$50O,000. He said that it was an agree
ment that the special account was not to
be drawn upon. Bank examiner Powell,
who was the government agent in closing
the doors of the Fidelity last June, told
his story how he was begged by Harper to
pass the examination and was then asked
to telegraph the controller of the curren-
cy for authority not to make an eNamina-
ton. He then found the tell tale mema-
randum checks as cash representing
100000. Briggs Swift, the president,
said he never knew of them till then.

walked away in silence. Mr. Powell, dis

Butte's Water Supply.

BUTTE, December 3.-The committee
appointed some weeks ago to investigate
the new water supply of the Silver Bow
Water company, as to whether or not it
was contaminated by seepage from the
graveyard, made their report last night to
the city council. The committee consist
ed of mayor Kenyon, DR.. Hough and al
dermen Bateman and Owsley, and were
assisted in their investigation by lead
ing mining men. They sank wells and in
other ways determined to their satisfac-
ton that the water underlying the whole
section communicates, and that there is
the best reason to suspect that the grave
yard contaminates the water. A slaughter
house and the smelters in the vicinity
also serve to render the water unwhole-
some. The water in the well near the
slaughter house and smelter is entirely
unfit for use. The committee unhesitat-
ingly condemn the new supply.

Manager Shelby's Report.

HELENA, December General mana
ger P. P. Shelby of the Montana Central,
returned Tuesday evening from trip to
Great Falls. He says that the bridge over
the Missouri and the railroad to Sand Cou-
lee will be completed in thirty or forty
days, when the fuel problem for Helena
will be solved The company there has
coal as good for domestic purposes, for
steam engines, for smelling as can be had
in the western country, not excepting the
Rock creek coal in Wyoming. A 200-foot
tunnel has been run III the vein on a level,
so that there viii be no expense for hoist
ing or drainage. @The vein is 10 feet thick
where the men are now working, and is
Is feet in thickness where the taking out
of coal will begin.
Mr.. Shelby says a large number of men
are at work ballasting and surfacing the
Montana Central track and they will be
kept at work during the winter SO that
by early spring the company will have a
line upon which firstclass passenger
train can be placed with perfect safety and
with assurance that its schedule time will
be run without delay.
The Montana Central began yesterday
to carry the mails to Rock creek, half way
between Helena and Great Falls, and in
few days probably will carry the mail to
Great Falls, Fort Benton and all northern
Montana. This will be done by an ar
rangement with the present contractor,
and the mail will, probably, be carried in
closed pouches, the company not desiring
to put on any mail cars until the fast pas
senger train service is established.

CATTLE AND HORSES.
George Barron Gives Some Sound
Opinions Thereon-T is Not a
Good Time to Sell-Some
Practical Points.

George Barron, manager of the Mon
tana Cattle Company, gives the Tribune
some practical points on cattle and horse
interests. "Range prices" he says, "are
stronger. Several punches that could be
bought some time agonow can't be bought
at all, which indicates that prices will be
higher in the spring. People that hold
cattle for the next two or three years are
very likely to make money by SO doing.
My advice to cattle men would be to hold
beef over next year; to sell nothing. The
Chicago market is still overstocked and
prices are low. There are too many peo-
pie unloading
Regarding winter shelter, Mr.. Barron
saws:
"Mr. Floweree is preparing to feed on
Dupuyer creek some cattle that he brought
from the Yellowstone. In general, peo-
pie look for a good winter and have not
taken any steps to feed their cattle. Very
few cattle were brought into the country
this fall, but next year the drives and ship
ments may be the heaviest ever known.
This is owing to the low price of cattle in
general, but the good grass and fat beef
of this season will encourage moneyed
men to invest in cattle and make large
shipments here next year."
Referring to bull feeding, he observed:
"As regards bull feeding, which now oe
cupies attention, it must be said that it
would be hard for the owners of large
ranges to collect their bullsand feed them
for the winter. The cost would be SO
great that there would not be gain enough
in calves to meet the expense. do not
think that there is the heavy loss Of COWS
and calves in the winter which some per-
sons assert. Feeding would not add to
the branding"
In relation to horses, Mr.. Barron says:
"The horse market is becoming stronger
in horses than at present, as on the range
fresh horses are doing well. The man
who raises 1900 to 400 pound geldings
within the next few years is the one who
will make money, as he will get as much
for one gelding as for three Or four steers.
Moreover as herses are harder than cat
tie, the investment is more secure AS
the ranges become overstocked, the cattle
losses will naturally be heavier while losses
among horses will be merely nominal"

He built fine buildings and opened large
brick works, with steam plant, and got
rich in short order. But his domestic
matters were in a serious shape His
wife was childless and, whether Justly or
not, Schwartz became exceedingly jealous
OF his buXom wife and the common hands
about the works. and finally after a period
or friction which made their quarrel no.

rate. He generously gave to her all the
property, then worth handsome sum,

once to this country. He did not stop
here, but went cut to Oregon, to build a

Meanwhile Mrs. Schwartz the first,

100000 brick every year. Schwartz had
laid out a large addition in lots, which
were sold off, and the dam of the Mississ-

increased it in value, until 100000
